I agree with all of that, and even said (in the post you quoted) that I thought he was talented at what he did. But I don't have to like an athlete even if I recognize their skill, and the same sort of thing applies here. I much prefer the outpost post-Archer compared to his tenure, and I was...

Not even ten minutes. Someone who isn't blocked by PrimalxConvoy should probably tell him.

Eh I have no love for his general outlook. "Combiners will never work" Combiner Wars happens "Headmasters will never work" Titans Return happens "We can't do stuff like boombox Blaster or tape deck Soundwave at retail" Netflix Soundwave and Kingdom Blaster say high I understand that not...

Aaron Archer didn't get a lot of things 🙃

Maybe put them on eBay? There are always customizers looking for extra parts.

The size still doesn't make this a Skids remould. And I'm not really willing to make a final judgement on the size until I see this thing next to a figure that's already out for comparison. Preferably in both vehicle and robot mode.

Yeah, like how Steamboat Willie is public domain but Disney can still sue you into oblivion if you use Mickey Mouse without their permission.

Nope. As CoffeeHorse pointed out this Red Alert prototype has pinned wheels and separately moulded clear plastic windows from the solid plastic frame. Neither of which Skids has in any of his mould permutations. If this is a remould of Skids it's one of those "we only reused the internal...

"We gave it the budget we saved from killing Power Rangers!" -John Hasbro

There are a number of JG1 characters from the Victory manga I'd love to have but Hasbro's never going to bother with that headache, even if the actual rights holders are unaware they're actually rights holders. Corporate legal departments are all about reducing legal headaches, even ones that...

Should have watched more pro wrestling.

For me it comes down to a frustration with how inconsistent the franchise as a whole is at building its own mythology. Transformers is kind of unique in that it reinvents itself totally each time. Which isn't bad per se but it has its drawbacks. Like you have GHOST, Sector 7, whoever Agent...

And then people complained when the MCU version skipped it 😛 Honestly, "ignore the loudest fans" isn't a half bad piece of advice to any studio making franchise films.

I admit I'm not familiar with how work for hire contracts work in Japan, but it just strikes me as weird that they could write Transformers manga and that they or their publishers would own original creations made for the licence they're working on. Like I'm pretty sure Hasbro owns Rung, not...

Bad first trailer, poor release slot coming out only after kids no longer have days worth of free time, bad marketing. There are very simple reasons why this crashed. I don't think audience confusion over what continuity this belonged to mattered. Fact is general audience sorts don't care...

Yeah. Like Marvel making sure Circuit Breaker got into a Secret Wars comic before she appeared in Transformers was a ploy to keep the rights to her. Notably had she appeared first in a Transformers comic then she would have been a Transformers character and been Hasbro IP. So it's strange that...

ScarJo put in a really characterful performance as Elita. I was expecting her to sleepwalk through it but she actually put a lot into it and she became my favourite character in the film. Makes me think she's got more to offer as a performer, she just needs a decent director.
